i do not believe in the phrase "senior citizen" .
When i was in my teens i was reading an essay of thoughts that were from obviously a vivid electric vital mind.
There was a footnote at the end of this essay that its author Goethe was 82 at the time of its writing( written very near his death, actually)
********************
i am 5'8" 152 pounds and i think the word "wiry" could be applied to my physical aspect.So i kind of wince when you conjure up an image of me tottering with cane to collect the mail.:)
Kurt Vonnegut,jr, btw, is now 85, and since his being a near lifetime heavy smoker is now catching up to him, i feel Kurt has little time left, he having had a bout with pneumonia and with emphysema digging in , but his mind will be flashing sparks of vitality until his last breath.
Rather than i joining you on the stupid bench why don't you come here and sit with me on the We do NOT go Gently into the Night bench:)
You write <<In my youth as a network engineer>>: so i surmise you have lost a couple seconds on whatever your 100-yard dash time may once have been, i dare say.
But you write with enough snap crackle and pop such that <<Is it just me Max 90? Or is Harrison Bergeron starring howie mandel as a useless gameshow host and howie mandell hosting a dumb game show in real life with top ratings just too ironic? Unlike the movie, I feel we don't have anyone brave enough to go on deal or no deal and shoot themselves - it's over Max 90, get on the stupid bench with the rest of us and enjoy the show.>>
i don't believe you follow your own advice:)
i say seek i balance.
i got my Gravitas persona , my Idiot persona , my Humorous persona, and a whole bunch of whatevers that be personae and one of your aspects i see that you obviously don't like being bored, nor do i.
So a link
Now this thread i closed on saturday but i left 8 links for people that might be getting bored and want a new challenge.
Subject 57022
Those links are but a meagre introduction of the single most important matter going on in physics(astrophysics/cosmology) in humanity's search for an answer, today--nothing comes close, not even remotely close, it will shakes the houses and rattle the bones of all those that think they have a basic understanding of what is and what is not..
i call it the 800-lb Missing Gorilla in the room, and now that it missingness won't go away, that now they know with absolute certainty it is there, but they can't find it; i just TWINKLE at seeing young minds here and there lighting up and saying WOW! what are the implications of this??
Now i might be able to play Monty Python Trivia with the best but i love all the rest too.:)
i don't think you want to sit on stupid bench, nor are you stupid---you is faking stupid, we KNOW that:) Max90 |
